- Take an empty spray bottle and fill it with the white distilled vinegar. It is better to take a new spray bottle to avoid residue in the bottle. If you do not like the smell of vinegar or you don’t have vinegar at home, you can use diluted bleach water instead.
- Now spray the solution directly in your car trunk. Heavy spray on the areas where mold is growing.

If you find mold, it might not be from water or moisture seeping in.
